Description

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), is a course developed by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for the training of health care providers. It emphasizes early recognition of pre-arrest states and the prevention of cardiopulmonary arrest in children. It also teaches relevant techniques that enable effective intervention in pediatric resuscitation.

Prior to the course, the PALS Provider student is responsible for independent study of the American Heart Association PALS Provider manual. The majority of the teaching during the course is done in small, informal group lectures, discussions, and practical hands-on stations. This format allows maximal student/instructor interaction and was designed to enhance learning and decrease participant stress.

Upon successful completion, participants will be granted a PALS provider card through the American Heart Association. Provider status is valid for two years, and a renewal course is required to remain a PALS provider.

• Demonstrate the cognitive and psychomotor skills necessary for resuscitating the infant or child in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest.
